Date Night Challenge: Breakfast in Bed

This week, Scott and I decided to go a bit old school with our Date Night Challenge theme...

Breakfast in Bed

Exciting, no?

After we shipped the kids off to bed, we slipped into something a little more comfortable (p.j.'s) and started things off the way all good breakfast dates should...with a bottle of champagne. The $6 kind. Fancy!

We combined it with orange juice to make Mimosas. Seriously the easiest drink to make in all the world and tres delicious.

Don't the strawberries look like puffy little hearts? I didn't even intend to do that, I swear!

But let's get serious, people. We all know that breakfast isn't breakfast without one very important item.

Bacon. Yum.

Scott banished me to the table to sip my mimosa after a wayward bacon grease splatter almost killed me. Breakfast in bed is dangerous stuff.

After a minor disagreement about whether or not to make pancakes in addition to the eggs and hashbrowns and bacon and toast (I voted yay on the pancakes, he voted nay - spoilsport), we decided it was time to eat.

So we headed upstairs to the "bed" part of the equation.

So comfy. And delicious. And simple. Which is always a plus when you're planning a date night at home.

Of course we didn't stop there for the night. But what else can you possibly do on a "Breakfast in Bed" date night challenge, you ask?

Well, lots of things.

But we decided to watch the classic 80's movie starring Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson - The Breakfast Club.

Which was fun for awhile, until we realized we'd have much more fun if we reenacted it instead.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Breakfast Club, starring Scott and Megan.

Watch out Molly Ringwald, there's a new teen queen in town. Or a mid-thirties queen. Whatever.

Anyways, we had a lovely night, as always. Of course I can't leave out the goodnight kiss.

What can I say? He makes me feel like I'm back in high school all over again. Minus the acne and the angst.

And now for next week's Date Night Challenge theme....

(What will it be?!?!?)

A Real Date

No, seriously, my mom is actually coming over to babysit and we're going out on a real date this weekend. It seems a little anti-climactic after all these fantastic home dates, though, doesn't it? Oh well, I'm sure we'll figure out something to do.

That is so freakin' great! I haven't even read through it yet! The title was so awesome I just had to comment first. :) I was going to suggest Fly Fishing for a theme, but... What? You're not having fun, Scott?

Y'all are amazing!!! You and so cool. Seems like y'all have a lot of fun together. I've never seen The Breakfast Club, but you made it seem hilarious!! I wonder if the real date can hold a candle to your home dates. LOL @ the renegade oil splatter that attacked you. Glad you're okay.

You guys are hilarious. Your "movie" should go viral because everyone needs to see that :D

Scott is a really good sport to let you post that. I can't get my husband to dance in the privacy of our kitchen, let alone for millions (hundreds? tens?) to see. I've got to ask though, did you buy his shirt, or did he?

OMG Meg!!! Tears are rolling down my face! That video made my day. Hilarious as usual!! I think my favorite part was Scott's t-shirt. :) I can't believe I didn't notice what it said until the end. Classic.

Meagan thanks for sharing these ideas. I love them!! Like you Jim and I get so busy that we forget about what it is like to date and remember how much fun we have together when we are not cleaning up poo...or whatever else the kids decide to get into.

Stopping by from New Friend Fridays! This is such a cute idea. We were participating in Project 52 until we had a latest bundle arrive but we need to get back into it. I will be following.
